Conservation of synteny between vertebrate syndecan genes. The genomic contexts of: (A), syndecan-1 genes; (B), syndecan-2 genes; (C), syndecan-3 genes and (D), syndecan-4 genes, were analysed for conservation of neighboring genes in the human, mouse, chicken, T. nigroviridis and D. rerio genomes. Each diagram represents the order of genes along a portion of the indicated chromosomes. Each horizontal line represents a gene: red lines represent genes that are syntenic and black lines represent non-conserved intervening genes. The numbers indicate the exact location in nucleotides of each region on its respective chromosome in each species. HUGO gene names are given, and the syndecan genes are indicated in red.
